The spring water is a bicarbonate spring, which is said to be gentle on the skin and less likely to cause irritation. It is also known as the "family bath" as it is gentle on the skin and safe for those with sensitive skin.
In addition, Ofuyu's hot springs contain a generous amount of metasilicic acid, a natural moisturizing ingredient that is the standard for "beauty baths," at 2.5 times the standard amount (255ml). You can also expect it to have the effect of making your skin smooth.

Yugoya x Ofuyu

"Ofuyu" opened with the cooperation of Yugoya Onsen Monogatari, located in Hinatayama Onsen, Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture.

Yugoya Monogatari is a leader in the family bath industry, having opened Japan's first family bath in 1971. Based on the belief that "the greatest happiness in life is for families to bathe together and chat," this wonderful family bath continues to evolve with the times, providing better service.

Hinatayama Onsen is unique in that most of its hot spring facilities are family baths, demonstrating the deep cultural roots of family baths in the region. Among these, Yugoya Monogatari incorporates a variety of services and concepts to provide an entertaining family bath. We visited the facility ourselves, and found it to be a very pleasant family bath, meticulously cleaned and well-maintained.

Yugoya and Ofuyu will further deepen their collaboration and provide even better service in the future. We hope you will continue to look forward to it.

logo mark

Beppu's symbol is the steam rising from various parts of the city. It's a moving sight that evokes a sense of peace and nostalgia in the viewer's heart, evoking the extraordinary exhilaration of "coming to a hot spring resort," the energy of the earth, and the warmth that blends seamlessly into people's lives.

Our shop name, "Ofuyu," is a combination of the Japanese words "off" and "yu" (hot water), likening the time spent relaxing in a hot spring to "off."

Our logo is designed to depict rising, overlapping steam. The soft curves express the relaxed feeling of "off," and represent the casualness and lightness of "Ofuyu," a part of everyday life.

Secret Point - Hidden within the logo is a "face immersed in happiness." Try to find it!
